Three Saints accounted for their first-career touchdowns as New Orleans erased a double-digit deficit, but it wasn’t enough as Tom Brady found Kenbrell Thompkins in the corner of the end zone with five seconds remaining for a 30-27 New England victory.

Yes, the game was thrilling and fun to watch down the stretch. It was the cliché of sitting on the edge of your seat type of game. But I know Saints fans are feeling sick to their stomachs after watching how that turned out.

With New England holding Jimmy Graham catchless for the first time this season, other receivers needed to step up. The rookie from Oklahoma was one of those players. Kenny Stills caught all three passes thrown his way, including a scintillating 34-yard TD reception on third and 20 to put the Saints on top in the fourth. The touchdown was his first-career score.

RB Khiry Robinson

Fellow rookie Robinson also scored his first-career NFL touchdown on a three-yard run in the third quarter. His 53 yards were the highest single-game rushing total of any individual Saint this season.

RB Travaris Cadet

A third Saint scored his first-career touchdown Sunday. In fact, Travaris Cadet did it on his first offensive snap of the season. He got New Orleans on the board with a three-yard TD reception in the first quarter.

LB Curtis Lofton

The man in the middle was dominant for New Orleans Sunday with 12 tackles, eight solo, including one sack. The sack was one of five New Orleans accumulated on the afternoon.

S Malcolm Jenkins

The Saints safety was also a terror in the backfield with a team high 1.5 of New Orleans’ five sacks. He made two tackles for loss and amassed eight stops.
